Re: Purdue 2012-2013 Athletics thread

I feel terrible for Marve, really terrible. That's what, 4 ACL tears? And he still wants to play, but much as I think he's the best QB on the roster, I don't want him to try again. His knees just can't take it.

With Notre Dame now having to play 5 ACC football opponents a year, is the annual Purdue-ND game in jeopardy?

Could be. ND's going to play 5 ACC teams a year. They'll probably want to keep their USC, Navy and Stanford games. Keeps them relevant on a more national scale than just the midwest. So that's 8 games, they keep Purdue, UM, and MSU that's only one open date a year which just isn't realistic.

A Notre Dame beat writer was on Dakick yesterday talking about the new schedule. He expects Purdue to stay an every season event. He believes that Michigan State and Michigan would go on a rotating schedule, likely in 2 year home & home cycles.

I hope so. Much as I dislike ND Purdue needs that home game against them every other year. Good luck finding another realistic out of conference opponent that'd come to Ross Ade and put it anywhere near capacity.

I read somewhere on Twitter that Purdue was going to be with Michigan and Michigan State on that rotating schedule. Honestly for Notre Dame the Michigan game holds much more appeal and, of course, more $$$.
